Piedmont Highlights, Barolo Wine Tour, Truffle Hunting – 3 nights Langhe based

Piedmont is home to 17 DOCG wines out of a total of around one hundred in Italy. It is the Region with the highest number of DOCG (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin) wines. Most of these wines are produced with different and indigenous grapes such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto – red grapes – or Cortese, Erbaluce di Caluso, Moscato – white grapes. Other grapes are not included in DOCG wine production but are very important and special anyway. Examples are Timorasso, Grignolino, Arneis, Freisa.

The most interesting areas to sample the wines of Piedmont are the Langhe, where they produce the famous Barolo and Barbaresco and where there are the largest number of producers. However, even Monferrato, Canavese and North Piedmont are areas that yield excellent wines, emerging wineries and itineraries that will amaze you with the beauty of the cellars and the vineyards. The vineyards of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero were included in 2014 on the UNESCO Heritage List.

Langhe are also famous for the White Alba Truffle, with one of the most important gastronomic events in the world. Not only wines and white truffles, but also DOP cheeses, still largely from small handicraft producers, the IGP Piedmontese hazelnut, grappa and more.
